simon says stamp/anything goes - hello there

Be sure to check out the Simon Says Stamp Store!

Hello and welcome to this weeks simon says stamp wednesday challenge, it is your favorite time of the month...anything goes challenge! The design team is spotlighting amazing products from wplus 9. Don't forgot every week at Simon Says Stamp we give away a $50 voucher...wooohooo....now that is worth playing for!

This is a gorgeous stamp, it is called watercolor anemones; so pretty! I used a new to me technique that I learned on SCS last week while playing along with fallidays. Rather than spritzing the inked stamp before stamping, you spritz with water after stamping onto paper. It gives a subtle watercolor look...I really like it! I popped the sentiment up on 3d square pop dots and then added a few gemstones. I cannot wait to see what you create this week!

sunday stamps - sending happy thoughts

A sweet little card for you to today using the sunday stamps sketch, the flower was in my little extra box as were the leaves. I watercolored the left portion and added some ink splatter and then stamped the sentiment several times using my mini misit. There is also some paste embossing on the right side and I sponged it with a bit of tim holtz distressed inks. I adore the polka dotted designer paper and the fun flower....just a happy card! hope you have a wonderful day and week!

I had a blast with this weeks card, I painted the fun thin zebra stripes using a silver black velvet brush, I luv these brushes! I am so happy with the way it looks...a little on the wild side, wouldn't you say?...teeehehehehe. I have used the prima confection watercolor inks pans for painting. I did add any embellies, I anted the stripes and flowers to come alive on their own!
